that science.
THE TWO GREAT PRIMARY IDEAS IN EDUCATION
are: First, to communicate to the student truths
which are essential for the formation OF his mind,
and, second, to develop his moral nature. We
call man well educated who is q brilliant lin
guist and can speak or read dozen dead ana
dozen more living tongues, but surely the man Is
better educated who can talk and write sense In
sense in fifty. Since the preservation OF life and
health is OF first importance to man, the first men:
conditions under which we live by study OF that
science which shows us how to preserve our bodies
substances are helpful and what are harm
rul. Such q study should be selected as
the first branch Of education. Sense
life to preserve the body from harmful accidents;
they cannot detect poisons or injurious food:
Children should be trained in the inception Of
their education to love the study OF chemistry, and
encouraged to make laboratories wherever ana
should not be Confined to high schools and Colleges
1t should not be put of until the last, but should
be introduced as a factor in the primary Depart
mentS OF public instruction.
CHEMISTRY AND RELIGION.
1t has been claimed that a knowledge Of chem
stry tends to loss Of reverence for religious inu
ences. Can it be so, when we are shown by chem
istry the infnity OF Divine providence in the Won
derful ordering OF the universe? 1t is also said
that chemistry tends to dwarf the Imagination.
Can this be so, when by its means we are led into
world unknown before, to see the marvels OF
Society and religion teach us that on any subject
we should range ourselves on one side or the other;
but by chemistry we learn that the abS0luteneS5
OF human judgment is well nigh impossible. When
we view the aid which chemistry has given toward
the progress of the world in art, in War; in means
OF transportation, we must acknowledge 1t as the
leader OF the sciences, and as such IL Is entitled to
foremost place in the curriculum or our schools.
The speaker was greeted with hearty applause.
